Tollefson Gets River Value

Level 28 : 30,000/60,000, 10,000 ante

Taylor Tollefson raised to 130,000 from the button, and Jason Sell called in the small blind. Both players checked the {j-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{4-Clubs} flop, and a {7-Spades} hit the turn. Tollefson called 130,000 from Sell, and Sell checked the {4-Diamonds} river. Tollefson fired 375,000, and Sell thought for about two minutes before calling.

Tollefson showed {q-Spades}{7-Hearts} for a full house.

"That's a good one," Sell said, mucking his hand.

Taylor Tollefson - Fourth Place

Taylor Tollefson raised to 160,000 on the button, and Jason Sell three-bet to 380,000 in the small blind. Tollefson pushed all in, and Sell called immediately.

Sell: {a-Clubs}{a-Hearts}
Tollefson: {4-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}

Tollefson had run into the rockets, and the {7-Hearts}{q-Hearts}{3-Hearts} flop put him further behind since the {4-Hearts} would give Sell a flush. A {5-Clubs} turn opened up some straight outs, but the board paired with the {3-Spades}, and Tollefson headed to get paid.

Ryan Jefferson spiked an out to survive.

Nik Stone limped the small blind, and Ryan Jefferson checked. Stone check-called 100,000 on the {q-Spades}{7-Clubs}{10-Hearts} flop, and a {9-Clubs} turned. Stone checked again, and Jefferson shoved all in, as he has done more than a few times when he has played recent pots. This time, Stone snap-called.

Stone: {q-Hearts}{9-Spades}
Jefferson: {q-Clubs}{2-Clubs}

Jefferson had top pair and a flush draw, but Stone had trapped him with queens up. The dealer burned and turned an {8-Clubs} saving Jefferson's tournament with a flush and leaving Stone with five big blinds.
